Do you disagree that there's a good chance that by choosing to live and pay taxes in Israel you're going to have a net negative effect on the future of the Palestinians over your lifetime?

You hold me to inhuman standards you do not uphold in your personal life. The current government is bad for me and bad for the Palestinians I strive for a better one, and I’m here to stay

I absolutely do hold myself to the same standards of not living and paying taxes in Israel.

Thanks god, what a contribution to the world! Hope you having a nice time in this historic tiny minuscule moment of peace your continent is having, while you sit on an economy based on generations that robbed entire continents naked and then benefited from child labor of those continents! But in this tiny point of peace you don’t dedicate any portion of your life to help 3rd world countries or any global causes like the environment But tell me to move one of your countries that have right wing parties rising in the polls because some tiny percent of your population became Muslim. You will watch with me your politicians throw away this high morality you hold the second a Russian missile hit the ground in Western Europe and you with them

What are you implying? It's totally fine to defend yourself against aggressors.

The problem is that in the Israel-Palestine conflict, Israel has always been the aggressor.

Your comment is exactly what Hamas militants say to themselves and what far right Israelis say to themselves.
